Topic: Topic: Instrumentation and hardware-in-the-loop simulation of a control system for a thermal management test rig. Grade: 1.0

1. Performed initial sensor testing, including calibration and offset error analysis 2. Designed and tuned a real-time PID-based control system 3. Deployed and validated the control system using MATLAB/Simulink on a Speedgoat real time target machine 4. Implemented serial communication in MATLAB/Simulink to control a Huber machine, adjusting its coolant temperature and pump speed in real time based on input setpoints to manage heating, cooling, and flow within the test bench

1. Designed, assembled, and validated a custom Arduino-based circuit board for closed-loop air suspension control testing, managing the complete hardware development process from component integration and soldering to system commissioning. 2. Developed and programmed microcontroller firmware in C++ to simulate real-time Electronic Control Unit (ECU) behavior, enabling accurate system validation and performance assessment.
